I have an old wallet.dat that's either too old or corrupted to simply drop into bitcoin core and make work. It has been suggested that I try using pywallet to extract the keys so I can upload them to a new wallet, but I have no coding experience and have not ever used python before. Ultimately, I need to get a nice idiots guide on what I need installed and what I need to type to extract the keys using OSX. Help appreciated. Thanks.
So far I have made it this far, but not sure where to go from here...
Mac OS X:
1. Install MacPorts from
http://www.macports.org/ 2. sudo port install python27 py27-twisted py27-pip py-bsddb python_select
3. sudo port select --set python python27
4. sudo easy_install ecdsa
Thanks
